Hilary Drake

Originally from Long Island, New York, Hilary traveled through Asheville for the first time in 2003 and knew immediately that she was Home. Following graduation from Grinnell College and a post in Boston, she listened to her gut, took a faithful leap, and flew South, landing in Montford, Asheville's Historic District. Throughout her years in town, she has worn several professional hats, serving in Development Departments for Arts and Human Service Non-Profit organizations and running her own business as a Yoga Therapist. As a long-time community member and homeowner with experience renovating, building, buying, selling, and leasing, she brings a wealth of connections, relationships, and resources to the Team. She is a hard working Connector who loves to make things happen. Mindfulness, honesty, kindness, integrity, and compassion drive her relationship-centered work in this world. Combining her diverse work and life skill set as a REALTOR, she pride herself on really knowing her clients, understanding their goals, and guiding them through a positive experience from start to finish.

As a volunteer, she serves on the Board of the Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater / The New Studio of Dance. When not working with clients or volunteering her time, you will find her having fun on the Pickleball courts, ski slopes, practicing Yoga, dancing on her mini-trampoline, enjoying our rivers and mountains, and nesting at home with her family and pets. Together with her wife of 15 years, she is so grateful to be raising their two young kids in such a beautiful, welcoming, and dynamic community.
